Sorry, Ja I didn’t mean to excluded RAN. (Which, I have great respect for!) More to the point that with many new Amphibious Assault Ships entering service around the world. That the EFV would be the ideal platform to launch amphibious landings and support land forces. Most current AFV/APC are either to slow or not amphibious! The main problem for the USMC is its current AFV is to slow to keep up with the Main Battle Tanks! (i.e.Abrams)
